The Russians, as well as the Chinese, spending far less, are more than anything else responding to what the American military-industrial complex is forcing them to do. The influence of the Israelis and Saudis in further propelling American military predominance, along with vast arms sales and transfers to them, is a major further part of this increasingly tragic and dangerous reality.
